My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 (2023) s01e03 Episode Script
I Wanna Have An Offline Meeting
1
You're single, Ms. Kinoshita?
Uh, yeah.
How about me, then?
I come with lots of amenities.
Oh, yeah?
That's so funny!
WHAT?
I WANT OUT OF HERE
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT I
GRIN - GRIN
I set this blind date up for you.
Sorry, I'm not ready, after all.
I wanna go home.
THE FEMALE ABILITY
TO CONVERSE THROUGH GAZE
Ms. Kinoshita,
you seem really into that game.
What's it called?
I play mobile games too.
Why don't we play together?
Um, it's not a mobile game.
It's a PC game called Forest of Savior.
Oh, right
Fore
I think I've seen the TV commercial.
It's uh yeah
-I saw the commercial!
-Sorry about this.
No, wait, I mean
I remember now!
Forest, yeah.
Savior, yeah.
ORIGINAL STORY BY MASHIRO
Unbelievable
Were you even trying?
This was your chance to meet someone,
and you couldn't put your phone down!
Are you even trying?
Sorry.
Ruri was messaging me,
and I wanted to reply.
Ruri?
My friend from the online game.
She's a girl with this really cute avatar.
A girl?
What'll you do if she's really an old man?
It's risky giving out
your cell phone number.
I'm pretty sure it's a girl.
Whatever.
Anyway, I'm headed this way.
Come to think of it
I never gave it any thought.
MY DINNER'S DONE. I'LL LOGIN AT HOME!
RURI WILL BE HOME SOON TOO.
LET'S HAVE FUN TOGETHER WHEN YOU LOGIN.
In my imagination,
she's a girl around high school age.
I wonder what she's really like.
Wow, is that gothic Lolita fashion?
Or is it more like
the cute fairytale type?
CAN'T TELL THESE DAYS
Somehow
She reminded me of Princess Ruri.
All right
I only have afternoon classes tomorrow,
so I can really enjoy the game tonight.
WONDERS WHY SHE'S MORE
EXCITED FOR THIS THAN HER BLIND DATE
Well, it's no big deal.
GAVE UP THINKING ABOUT I
I'm just not in the mood
for another romance yet.
SYSTEM: AKANE HAS LOGGED IN
Huh?
There's no one in the guild room.
Oh, it's Princess Ruri and Yamada!
What are they up to?
Maybe the three of us can go hunting.
Let's see
RURI: THERE ARE NO GUILD MEMBERS
ONLINE TODAY.
HERE'S ONE.
RURI: KINDA LONELY.
AKANE'S NOT HERE EITHER
YAMADA: WELL, IT IS A WEEKDAY.
RURI: SHE SAID SHE WOULD COME THOUGH.
Huh?
I guess they haven't noticed I'm here?
THIS REMINDS ME OF WHEN THE GUILD STARTED
This reminds me of when the guild started.
Yeah.
It was just the two of us
every day, back then.
We have a lot of members now,
but sometimes
it's nice being just the two of us.
On one hand, there are
more people to share with
and on the other,
I have less time alone with you.
Ruri's been missing that.
Well,
a lot of things were easier
when it was the two of us.
Th
These two are
-An item!
-It's ready.
FINDING IT HARD TO INTERRUP
Wow, thanks!
Alchemy is such a cool skill to have!
Maybe Ruri should learn it too.
By the way,
we're not the only guild members here.
Oh, it's Akane!
I missed the system log entry.
Sorry, Akane!
AKANE: THANKS BUT AM I BUTTING IN?
Not at all!
GRIN - GRIN
Anyway, I have other plans,
so gotta log out.
Okay!
I'll phone you later.
-Phone?
-Right.
SYSTEM: YAMADA HAS LOGGED OU
Now that you mention it
Yamada barely interacts
with everyone else,
but he does talk to Princess Ruri a lot.
Could it be they're
boyfriend and girlfriend?
Like when Takuma and I
started playing the game together.
Maybe Yamada and Princess Ruri
Akane?
Is something wrong?
Not at all!
Why am I
feeling down all of a sudden?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
TALK TO YOU LATER!
YOU'RE THE BEST!
YEAH, LATER
Why am I so hung up on those two?
The "Arab Spring" began in Northern Africa
and swept through Arab countries.
The power of people
to connect on social media
formed the background.
As this example shows, social media
is capable of building new connections.
Yamada's account
I'd like to take a peek.
But then
it sort of feels like I'd be prying.
Ms. Kinoshita!
Over here!
It's the guy from that blind date.
What was his name, again?
You had the same lecture as me, huh?
-I saw you playing with your phone.
-No way!
I didn't notice.
His name what's his name
It's no good. I can't remember.
By the way,
I looked up Forest of Savior
after our dinner.
It's pretty popular, huh?
So I've heard.
I had the urge to try it too.
I like video games, after all.
There sure are a lot of gamer guys.
YAMADA, PRO GAMER
Do you play FPS too?
"F?"
Do you know a pro gamer named Yamada?
Uh, Yamada yeah.
I, uh
-I may have seen him in a commercial!
-Sorry again.
You really are into games, aren't you?
What is this?
I have this vaguely uneasy feeling.
And so, when summer arrives,
our circle is talking about
going to Okinawa.
Yeah? That sounds fun.
It will be!
Our members all know
how to have a good time.
-Why don't you join us?
-Huh?
That girl
Haven't I seen her before?
Sorry I'm late.
Let's go.
The hotel we book regularly
has an ocean view!
I've never had a girlfriend.
Well
Yamada is handsome.
I was sure he must have had
a girlfriend or two, at least.
Ms. Kinoshita?
Sorry, I'm headed this way.
-Ms. Kinoshita
-See you on campus!
So why?
Why do I feel so uneasy?
I think I'll skip logging in today.
Who's that?
Momo, maybe?
HI THERE, AKANE! ARE YOU FREE?
It's Princess Ruri.
What do I do?
I'm not in the mood for gaming today.
HI THERE RURI, WHAT'S UP?
AKANE, DID YOU READ THE FOS NEWS?
FOS News?
I haven't logged in today,
so I don't know about it.
THEY'RE OPENING A FOS COLLABORATIVE CAFE
NEXT MONTH. WANNA GO TOGETHER?
A collaborative cafe?
OH, AND I RAN INTO YAMADA IRL AND INVITED
HIM TOO! AND THE OTHER MEMBERS!
"Ran into him IRL"
Could it be
That girl really is Princess Ruri?
I did get the same kind of vibe from her.
But then, those two really are
RURI WOULD LOVE TO MEET OFFLINE!
CAN YOU COME?
P-L-E-A-S-E!
OKAY, I'LL GO
GOOD MORNING, AKANE
TODAY'S THE DAY!
I'M SO EXCITED I COULD BARELY SLEEP!
Well, I guess I'll get ready.
I won't get many opportunities
to meet the guild members IRL.
I should enjoy it.
MEETING OFFLINE?
IS THAT SAFE? YOU'VE NEVER
SEEN THEM BEFORE, RIGHT?
IT'S FINE! THEY'RE ALL NICE
AND YAMADA WILL BE THERE TOO!
YAMADA WILL BE THERE? THAT'S A RELIEF
HAVE FUN!
Yeah, let's have fun!
Now then
The Murata building
outside the north exit
MURATA BUILDING
will be on your left
when you cross the street.
And then?
Better check the map again.
SOBA RESTAURAN
Where is it?
FREEZE
IN A HURRY
-Oh, excuse me!
-Not at all!
-It was my fault
-Let me get that for you.
I hope your phone isn't broken.
SORRY
You're going to the FOS cafe?
By any chance
do you play the game?
It's a fairly casual game,
so I heard there were
a lot of girls playing,
but I didn't know there were any
as pretty as you.
Come on, I'm not that
I followed him
because he said he'd lead me there,
but what if this is a new kind of scam?
HE KEEPS COMPLIMENTING ME TOO
I started playing with a friend,
but I've gotten really into it.
We even started a guild together.
I thought it would be your average MMO,
but it actually has
a solid balance of elements.
My favorite feature is how they prevent
characters from over-buffing
through purchases.
It's true that the GFX
are a bit out of date,
but the cuteness makes up for it.
Best of all, there are no super races.
I enjoy seeing diverse characters
and I bet the difference
in classes isn't that big either.
Mages do have a slight advantage now,
but each update leads closer
to perfect balance.
And thanks to guild enhancements,
there's a reason to fight.
The game is built to encourage parties.
It gives meaning to playing together.
Of course, leveling up can be
nerve wracking,
but it works well
for self-imposed challenges.
I really feel like the developer
is listening to users.
I can tell they've learned
from their previous mistakes.
Phew. He's just your average gamer.
Anyway, that's my take. What's yours?
-What do you think?
-Huh?
Um
I'm still new to all of this
and I don't know as much as everyone else.
I even got in trouble
for putting "garbage"
in the guild treasure chest.
But then, the Guild Master is really kind
and I like the group I'm with
Oh, I think I see him.
Hey! Over here!
This way!
It's over here!
Isn't that
Princess Ruri?
I didn't know you played that game.
-Let's battle, sometime.
-Sure.
Yamada!
Yamada! It's been a while.
Long time no see.
-How've you been?
-Same as usual.
Same as usual, huh?
STARE
Oh, you're Princess Ruri, aren't you?
Nice to meet you.
HOW CUTE
You look just like your character.
I recognized you right away.
Thank you for your message this morning!
Huh?
Her personality seems
a bit different from in the game.
Um
Hey, Eita.
Who is this girl?
If I'm correct
you're Akane,
aren't you?
Excuse me
Everyone, why don't we at least go inside?
IZAKAYA BOTTA
Home at last
My back hurts
How is she so damn heavy?
UNCONSCIOUS PEOPLE ARE ALL HEAVY
I'm beat
IT'S PRACTICE TIME, BUT YOU'RE OFFLINE?
Uh-oh
YAMADA BELONGS TO A PRO FPS TEAM
You're late! Where've you been?
You've kept us all waiting.
Please excuse me. Actually
through a turn of events
a woman I don't know is asleep in my room.
TANI-YAN
KIM, GOBOU,
A woma
JET BLACK AQUA,
A woman?!
"A woman?"
-Unforgivable
-He did, right?
-Show this wayward soul the error of
-He said "woman"!
Is someone reading an incantation?
Hey, photos
I wanna see a photo!
I won't spread it anywhere!
I have rather high digital literacy!
Not a chance.
Trust your team members!
I feel sick
Hold to him the mirror
that he may see how he has sinned.
I have to step away.
Hey, Yamada! Wait!
Now I'm pissed off.
I'm gonna slander your account.
-Please don't.
-So much for digital literacy.
Excuse me
Are you okay?
Do you need water or anything?
Nothing.
After all
you don't
love me anymore, do you?
Then go
Hurry up and leave me.
Go!
She says that
while clinging to me
Isn't that a contradiction?
Or so I thought,
but this seems different, somehow.
I don't get it.
WOMEN'S HEARTS ARE THE HARDEST GAME OF ALL
Even so
If I move from here
I get the feeling she'll cry even harder.
SHE FINALLY FELL ASLEEP
She's been crying, non-stop
She must really be hurt.
I guess
love is pretty hard on people.
Just sleep quietly until morning.
I'm gonna barf!
